[data-align]"start" | "end" | "center"
CSS VariableDescription
--radix-hover-card-content-transform-origin
The transform-origin computed from the content and arrow positions/offsets
--radix-hover-card-content-available-width
The remaining width between the trigger and the boundary edge
--radix-hover-card-content-available-height
The remaining height between the trigger and the boundary edge
--radix-hover-card-trigger-width
The width of the trigger
--radix-hover-card-trigger-height
The height of the trigger

Arrow

An optional arrow element to render alongside the hover card. This can be used to help visually link the trigger with the HoverCardContent. Must be rendered inside HoverCardContent.

Examples

Show instantly

Use the openDelay prop to control the time it takes for the hover card to open.

vue
vue
<script setup>
import {
  HoverCardArrow,
  HoverCardContent,
  HoverCardPortal,
  HoverCardRoot,
  HoverCardTrigger,
} from '@oku-ui/primitives'
</script>

<template>
  <HoverCardRoot :open-delay="0">
    <HoverCardTrigger></HoverCardTrigger>
    <HoverCardContent></HoverCardContent>
  </HoverCardRoot>
</template>

Constrain the content size

You may want to constrain the width of the content so that it matches the trigger width. You may also want to constrain its height to not exceed the viewport.

We expose several CSS custom properties such as --radix-hover-card-trigger-width and --radix-hover-card-content-available-height to support this. Use them to constrain the content dimensions.

vue
vue
// index.vue
<script setup>
import { HoverCardArrow, HoverCardContent, HoverCardPortal, HoverCardRoot, HoverCardTrigger } from '@oku-ui/primitives'
</script>

<template>
  <HoverCardRoot>
    <HoverCardTrigger></HoverCardTrigger>
    <HoverCardPortal>
      <HoverCardContent
        class="HoverCardContent"
        :side-offset="5"
      >

      </HoverCardContent>
    </HoverCardPortal>
  </HoverCardRoot>
</template>
css
css
/* styles.css */
.HoverCardContent {
  width: var(--radix-hover-card-trigger-width);
  max-height: var(--radix-hover-card-content-available-height);
}

Origin-aware animations

We expose a CSS custom property --radix-hover-card-content-transform-origin. Use it to animate the content from its computed origin based on side, sideOffset, align, alignOffset and any collisions.

vue
vue
// index.vue
<script setup>
import { HoverCardArrow, HoverCardContent, HoverCardPortal, HoverCardRoot, HoverCardTrigger } from '@oku-ui/primitives'
</script>

<template>
  <HoverCardRoot>
    <HoverCardTrigger></HoverCardTrigger>
    <HoverCardContent class="HoverCardContent">

    </HoverCardContent>
  </HoverCardRoot>
</template>
css
css
/* styles.css */
.HoverCardContent {
  transform-origin: var(--radix-hover-card-content-transform-origin);
  animation: scaleIn 0.5s ease-out;
}

@keyframes scaleIn {
  from {
    opacity: 0;
    transform: scale(0);
  }
  to {
    opacity: 1;
    transform: scale(1);
  }
}

Collision-aware animations

We expose data-side and data-align attributes. Their values will change at runtime to reflect collisions. Use them to create collision and direction-aware animations.

vue
vue
// index.vue
<script setup>
import { HoverCardArrow, HoverCardContent, HoverCardPortal, HoverCardRoot, HoverCardTrigger } from '@oku-ui/primitives'
</script>

<template>
  <HoverCardRoot>
    <HoverCardTrigger></HoverCardTrigger>
    <HoverCardContent class="HoverCardContent">

    </HoverCardContent>
  </HoverCardRoot>
</template>
css
css
/* styles.css */
.HoverCardContent {
  animation-duration: 0.6s;
  animation-timing-function: cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1);
}
.HoverCardContent[data-side="top"] {
  animation-name: slideUp;
}
.HoverCardContent[data-side="bottom"] {
  animation-name: slideDown;
}

@keyframes slideUp {
  from {
    opacity: 0;
    transform: translateY(10px);
  }
  to {
    opacity: 1;
    transform: translateY(0);
  }
}

@keyframes slideDown {
  from {
    opacity: 0;
    transform: translateY(-10px);
  }
  to {
    opacity: 1;
    transform: translateY(0);
  }
}

Accessibility

The hover card is intended for sighted users only, the content will be inaccessible to keyboard users.
